2 Thessalonians 1:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth,

⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all persecutions and tribulations that ye endure,

⁵ which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.
